What you'll do
- Run H's speaking programme, starting with managing every inbound invitation and distributing them across leaders
- Proactively pitch H speakers to the right conferences, and keep a clear calendar for the CEO, COO, product and research leaders
- Assess each event against clear criteria (audience quality, prestige, format, media reach, strategic fit and geography) and give leadership a recommendation they can decide on quickly
- Build and manage relationships with conference organisers, speaker bureaus, trade associations and media partners across France, the UK, the US and the rest of Europe
- Negotiate and manage event and trade partnerships, from speaking slots and sponsorships to co-hosted events and media partnerships, working with Marketing and Sales on budget and return
- Prepare speakers for every appearance: bios, talking points, briefing notes, Q&A prep, logistics and audience background
- Keep every commitment: confirm early, plan replacements in advance, and never cancel or downgrade a speaking slot at the last minute without leadership's decision
- Turn each event into value: coordinate with Social and Content on coverage, with Sales on meetings and leads, and with the team on thank-you notes and follow-up
- Keep the speaking pipeline, partner contacts and event outcomes up to date in one source of truth, and report on what worked
What we're looking for
- 2 to 6 years of experience in events, speaker management, partnerships, communications or business development, ideally in B2B tech, AI or a fast-growing startup
- Native-level English, with excellent written and spoken communication
- Strong relationship-building skills and comfort dealing with senior executives, organisers and agencies
- Highly organised, with attention to detail and reliable follow-through, since you will manage calendars and logistics across several time zones
- Good commercial judgement: you can weigh an opportunity, negotiate terms and say no politely
- A genuine interest in AI, and the ability to learn enough about our technology to brief a speaker and hold your own with organisers
Nice to have
- Experience at a speaker bureau, conference or trade-show organiser, or in executive communications
- French
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity
- Direct access to leadership, the researchers and engineers building the technology
- Collaborative, multicultural team that works on AI and real life enterprise problems
- Learning and growth, team hackathons, offsites and moments to celebrate wins together
